Auto-Editor App v5.4.0

August 1, 2026

New workflows

Add an NLE mode, an alternative to Premiere Pro/Resolve/Final Cut Pro that supports native Auto-Editor actions.
The new .bap filetype (bundled auto-editor project), bundles source media, timeline settings, and complete undo and redo history. Platform agnostic.
Import v3 timelines directly into NLE mode while preserving track positions, gaps, source offsets, and custom effects.

Double-click an NLE lane gap to select it, then press Delete or Backspace to ripple-delete matching empty time from that lane and aligned lanes.
Add an NLE Razor tool that splits linked video and audio clips at the clicked frame, and dedicate the linear-mode ruler tool to drawing time-range selections.
Trim overlay clips directly by dragging either edge on the timeline.
Adjust clip/cut indicator boundaries directly by dragging either edge, with undo and redo support.
Select timeline clips independently by track with one click, use Shift-click to select multiple clips, and press Delete to toggle selected main-ribbon clips between active and cut.
Select linked video and audio components together by default, with Alt/Option-click for component-only selection.
Drag the main ribbon to select a time range for keep/cut actions, or drag a lane or empty track space to marquee-select every intersecting element.
Show subtitle cues clipped and split at the boundaries that will be exported.

Add editable video and audio dissolves at timeline edit points and sequence ends.
Add transitions at every edit point between selected clips.
Add dissolves and audio crossfades directly at timeline edit points by clicking or dragging the cut handle.

Add British English, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese UI localization based on the system language.
Dismiss every dialog with Escape, and keep keyboard focus inside the open dialog instead of the page behind it.

Restore saved projects faster by deferring analysis for inactive projects and loading only the cached data needed by each analysis task.
Continue generating the complete proxy in the background while playback is paused, without replacing the full-resolution paused frame.
Keep one resident native preview worker alive to follow the playhead, supersede stale renders, and stream proxy progress without restarting the CLI controller.
Make comma/period frame stepping follow the rendered preview timeline across cuts and speed changes.
Prioritize paused preview frames by immediately preempting background proxy rendering.
